5 Minutes for Books:
The Only True Genius in the Family

January 26, 2009 by Jennifer Donovan

The sudden death of Claire’s father causes her to reevaluate

  • her relationship with him — which was never good
  • her own career
  • her relationship with her young adult daughter
  • whether or not DNA factors into artistic talent

These themes will resonate with most women. Who hasn’t compared their relationship to a parent with a sibling? Who hasn’t coveted a talent that another family member possesses? Who hasn’t wondered whether or not you’re using your own talents in the best way? Who hasn’t wished for a second-chance to let a loved-one know how you felt? There are questions in the back of the book designed to stimulate further discussion. It would be great to read it with a friend or a book group.

I read The Only True Genius in the Family by Jennie Nash within 24 hours. It’s not a suspenseful novel, but as I finished each chapter, I itched to turn the page and begin the next one immediately. This is always a prime indicator that I am really enjoying a book, but I did wonder if speeding through a novel lessens the joy that comes from savoring the story and the characters. However, both the themes in this novel and the characters themselves have stuck with me, so I don’t think that I robbed myself of anything in this particular case.

I enjoyed it and it touched me — by making me laugh as well as dwelling on the characters and the issues raised — which leaves no doubt in my mind that it’s a book I’ll be recommending throughout the year.

If you’d like to win a copy of The Only True Genius in the Family (U.S. shipping addresses only), leave a comment here. The winner will be announced in next Monday’s column and is subject to our terms and conditions.

This giveaway is linked to the Bloggy Giveaways carnival. Check out more giveaways over there all week long. Be sure to enter our HUGE book giveaway at 5 Minutes for Books as well (you can win a set of books worth over $150).

The winner of last week’s book, How to Be Like Walt, is #159 Brenda. You should have received an email from me, but if not, please send your shipping info to 5minutesforbooks [at] gmail DOT com.

    A true friend is not a friend that you can see and know that they are there without a doubt. A true friend is a friend you truly have faith in without a doubt. True friendship is when you don’t see that friend but you know that they are there and you learn to trust and believe in them…that one day you will see them without a doubt! I wa t everyone to feel this way…I WILL make everyone feel this way. Runescape gave me that chance…to know what true friendship really is. Together, we flew in the sky , over the ocean , in a dream that lasted forever! With unbroken bonds of the new existence. I DECLARE THESE BONDS UNBROKEN. I will fly with them forever in a dream that turns to the new reality.I am a blinding light made new, emptied of all preexisting darkness, and I will guide those in the darkness.Believe me..when I say I will do something, I will most likely do it eventually. I live to be the very best, not fine, not decent, good, amazing or outstanding. I live to be the very best.I burned fires of infinitism down the longest path that existed for eternity shedding tears…with my friends in the most magical and legendary lake of all time.These friends are the light that shines in the distant…you are the one in the darkness…looking for that light! That light. Is the only thing there to trust, you leave it to chance. One day you find it but it disappears. You can only have faith. That the light is still there. I found that light and I constantly lose it but I learn to trust it even more. I WILL win THIS. I DECLARE IT!!!!!!!!!!! This is how bad I want to win!
